About This Trip

Vietnam is a sensory overload. There is something exciting and exotic to see at every turn of your head and the smells of arguably the world’s best street food are exciting and vibrant. Vietnam is bursting with colour, rich with natural beauty and equally stunning cities from the ancient to ultra-modern, so let’s explore it all.  

 

To discover the true essence of Vietnam we pack a ton into this tour. Exploring Ho Chi Minh City, its rich history and culture you will uncover the highlights of this exciting city as well as go underground, on a guided speedboat trip to the fascinating Cu Chi tunnels to learn about the city's dark past. To contrast, you will visit the sleepy capital city of Hanoi, its laid back colonial streets displaying its fascinating past through its architecture. You will spend time discovering the splendour of ancient Hoi An, and learn to make traditional Vietnamese coffee while you are at it.  

 

However, Vietnam is not only about its fascinating culture, towns and cities. A large part of the attraction is the stunning natural surroundings and we endeavour to explore as much of this as we can. You will spend time in the glorious Mekong Delta, a wonderland of wildlife, showcasing nature at its finest. You will travel like a local, zipping through dense, jungle-lined rural roads to discover tiny villages. You will spend time cruising the waters of the jaw-droppingly beautiful Ha Long Bay amongst the forest topped islands that explode from the deep turquoise waters. 

 

Vietnam is an exotic dream, one which we can help you make come true.

highlights

Vietnam is beautiful to look at, there are lots of amazing highlights, but what many people miss out on a trip to Vietnam is discovering what really makes it tick, what lies under the surface and that is what we aim to do with our Essence of Vietnam tour. We have spent a long time crafting this exclusive tour to make sure that while on it, you get a deeper understanding of the people, the traditions and culture of Vietnam. It has a rich and exotic history, from ancient to the more troubling history of the 20th Century, but all these things combine to make Vietnam the stunning country it is today.  

 

We have selected the very best excursions, discovering all about the beautiful city of Hoi An, cycling with locals on a tour of Hanoi or travelling by Vespa through the beautiful countryside to see what life is like in rural Vietnam. We have chosen a luxurious cruise in the otherworldly Hanoi Bay, where you can relax and soak in its natural beauty, or get out and about in kayaks or your swimming costume, or walk on the mystical, forest strewn islands. You will return from this tour with a deeper understanding of Vietnam and a ton of memories to last you a lifetime.
